Shared short-term rentals are an option in the owner's home on the left. New construction (2025), all new appliances; extraordinary comfort, equivalent to European construction.

Ideal for anyone yet especially architects, engineers, builders, building scientists, and health professionals interested in high performance and healthy buildings.

Fresh filtered air is continuous with energy recovery ventilation (ERV). Triple glazed European tilt-and-turn windows.

No candles indoors. Utility fees and internet included. Lease term negotiable.
